Re: this roman boy Elagabalus?
I haven't given up. This one is just confounding me. When I think I've found the obverse bust, the reverse doesn't match, or it is the wrong metal.
Any chance of another photo. These are so low resolution, I can't "manipulate" them.

Re: this roman boy Elagabalus?
My best guess, so far: (assuming Elagabalus)
AE 19
Philippopolis, Thrace
Obverse:
AVT K M AVRH ANTONEINO, laureate head right
Reverse:
FILIPPOPOLEITEN NEWKO-RW-N, naked athlete standing right, crowning himself with wreath and holding palm
Varbanov 1763
Why I think this may be incorrect... the appearance of the letter B at the two o'clock position on the reverse is not on this coin, he has no "spear" in right hand
The issue with finding this coin is the individual on the reverse standing right while holding a "spear" in the right arm (upright) casually and the left arm bent in to the waist. The individual is also nude.
The only two other coins where this stance occur with Elagabalus are: Note: wrong base metal, left arm is not bent inwards, skirt with legs separated
This obverse bust profile looks most correct, but he's wearing as crown. Note: wrong base metal, headdress and clothing
That's having gone through all known Elagabalus coins, which leads me to believe it is not Elagabalus.
